The touchscreen allows you to communicate with the mailing system and the built-in postage meter (Postal Security Device). Your system comes equipped with a 10.2" touchscreen. An optional 15" touchscreen is also available.
|
|
A stylus is a pen-like tool used to make selections from a touchscreen display. The stylus may be preferred by some users over “finger touch”. The display stylus is standard with all Connect+® Series systems. It attaches to either side of the display and sits neatly in a tube holder.
|
|
The feeder area consists of the feeder deck, side guide and thickness adjustment knob.
|
|
The feed deck is the area where you load the envelopes. If you have a Connect+® 2000 or Connect+® 3000 system, this feeds the envelopes to the WEIGH-ON-THE-WAY® (W-O-W®) transport deck.
|
|
The moveable guide at the front of the feed deck is used to stabilize the envelope position when feeding it. NOTE: The side guide is optional feature on Connect+® 3000 systems.
|
|
Turns the mailing system on and off. This is located on the lower left side of the feed deck.
|
|
The envelope sealant bottle contains the E-Z Seal® solution used for moistening envelopes. It is located under the main cover, on the left.
|
|
The system uses tape to print reports and postage indicia for packages or pieces of mail that are outside the limits specified for mailing materials. Connect+® 1000and Connect+® 2000 systems use adhesive tape only. Connect+® 3000 systems can use either adhesive or gummed tape. The tape is located under the supplies cover, on the right.
|
|
If your mailing system has WEIGH-ON-THE-WAY® (W-O-W®) (Connect+® 2000, Connect+® 3000), the attached scale is used to weigh mail pieces that do not fit through the mailing system. If your mailing system does not have WEIGH-ON-THE-WAY® (W-O-W®) (Connect+® 1000), the attached scale is used to weigh all mail pieces, regardless of whether they fit through the machine or not. The attached scale is behind the supplies cover and to the right of the PSD cover. |
|
The moistener pad assembly moistens the flaps on the envelope. NOTE: The moistener pad assembly is located beneath the moistener deck on Connect+® 3000 systems. To access it, lift the top release lever and then use the blue notch to pull on and open the moistener deck. |
|
The thickness adjustment knob is located beneath the feeder cover. Turn this knob to adjust for the thickness of the envelopes. To set, turn the knob until the arrow on the knob lines up with the arrow to the right as shown below. The arrow on the knob snaps into position. |
|
The main components of the printer module are the ink cartridges, print heads and waste ink tray.
|
|
The ink cartridges contain the ink used to print the postal indicia, as well as any additional items (graphic ad, text message, return address, etc.) you want to appear on your mail piece.
|
|
The print heads produce the postage indicia.
|
|
Ink is deposited in the waste ink tray during the print head cleaning process. The system will alert you when the waste tray is nearing full capacity.
|
|
This is where mail is deposited after the postage is applied to the piece of mail. It is located on the right side of the system. The drop stacker shown here is available with every mailing system. An optional power stacker is also available.
|
|
The tape sealant bottle is an optional feature for Connect+® 3000 systems. It contains the E-Z Seal® solution used for moistening gummed tape. The tape sealant bottle is located to the right of the printer module, behind the stacker. |
|
The wet/dry tape lever is an optional feature for Connect+® 3000 systems. Use this lever to set the type of tape you are using on your system. The wet/dry tape lever is located to the right of the printer module, behind the stacker.
|
|
The PSD contains the funds and performs all of the calculations necessary to print postage indicia that comply with the latest USPS standards. It is located beneath the PSD cover on the back of the mailing system.
|
|
Two USB ports are located on the back, lower left side of the system. These provide communications with external devices like a printer or an attached scale.
|
|
The LAN port is located on the back, lower left side of the system. This port provides the mailing system with a high bandwidth Internet connection.
|
|
The power receptacle is located on the back, left side of the system. It connects to the AC power cord (supplied).
